Best camera for travel

In about a month I am going to South Africa to live and work there for a year. For that year I would like a great (pocketable) camera. I am a beginner in photography although I am keen to learn more about it. I was thinking about the sony RX 100 since it's a camera that is not too expensive and according to most websites it takes decent pictures. I do not care much for an EVF. Is the RX100 suitable for a beginner like me? Or should I go for something like the sony a6000 or panasonic lumix GM1? Or maybe the fujifilm X20? Thank you very much for your advice!
